The company's mill, power house aud office buildings are at Hedley, situated on the Similkameen river; the mine is 3-V miles cast of Hedley, and nearly 4000 ft. higher. The Great Northern Railway Co. is extending its line rfrom>,0i'pyille, Washington,, to Vancouver, B.

Tlie credit for opening and developing the mine under difficult conditions, and the installation of excellent equipment, 'undoubtedly belongs to Mr'..Rodgers'arid" Mr. Jones. During the first few years of development machinery and supplies were ha tiled in to Nickel Plate mountain from Penticton,4flmiles away oil Lake Okanagan. After the. Great Noithein had completed its railroad to Oroville, freight was hauled from that place up the Similkameen valley. Three years ago the railroad was finished to Roruf- meos, and only within the last year lias train service been established to ���������Hedley and Princeton.

A number of smaller streams now into the Similkameen through side canyons; among these is Twenty-. mile creek, the waters of which are 'brought through a flume and pipe-line to the Hedley company's plant to drive Pel ton water wheels. The Hedley Gold Mining Co. owns twenty-four Crown granted mining claims, the principal development being on three of them. The mine was opened in 1899 by the late Marcus Daly, and it was operated by him, and 'after his death by represent;*! ives of his estate, till August 13, 1909, when it passed to the control of this company by purchase. 1.

The ore j the ,.,, jiw,,y forces then employed on is hauled in 2-ttui cars from the farther ��������� construction was nevertheless a considerable crowd. The train from the ends of the principal adits by electric locomotives to the surface, where the ' trackage connects with a OOOD-fl eiec-, aouth brought in a fair representation trie line, over which the ore is hauled : from Oroville and Keremeos, and rein 12-ear trains down a 5-ft. grade to j tinning immediately on its arrival in the transfer bins at the head of a. 10,- j P inci-tun added still further by bring- 000-ft gravity tramway. Tin's train, ing in the Princeton baseball team which is operated in two sections, has and the gun club with their friends, three rails, with a fourth rail at the passing stations. This trackage from the upper terminal to the mill bins makes a descent of 3900 ft. The ore is hauled over this tramway in 5-ton skips, the upbound and down going skips traveling in balance, always subject to the controlling machinery at the head of each section. At the Vernon, B.

He was succeeded by R. 11. Lamb, and the* latter by F.A. Ross. Mr. Ross was the last one of the managers under the Daly ownership. CLP.

Some parts of the tramway trackage have an incline of apparently -10 degrees. Compressed air for the drills and hoists at the mine, is convoyed from the power-house at Hedley through a ("5-in pipe, 17001) ft. long; and the electric; power for the ore-haulage and other purposes at the mine is generated at the same powerhouse, tiansmifted to the lower terminal of 1 b. t late to see the rock drilling���������a- feature \v!--ch several were dissappointed in missing. THK ROCK DRILLING which was held at the foot of the mountain a short distance south of the mill (and was this year varied to a machine drilling contest instead of the h;;minor work of former years), was the lirst event, anil five teams entered, .1 1 from the Nickel Plate mine except iM.e.

The first prize was won by H. Neill and Boomer and the second by two Austrains, Vinco Williams and Nica. Theie was only about 3] inches between the highest and the lowest. The somewhat indifferent depth made is accounted for in that the machine had just been overhauled and was probably tightened up so much that the free working' of the ratchet action was interfered with. BASEBALL It was expected that Oroville Baseball club would be present in which case it was almost a foregone conclusion that they would carry off the prize against any local team which could be brought against them, but they failed to show up and a game between Hedley and Princeton resulted which proved to be the most interesting and closely contested game that has been played in Hedley at any La dor Day celebration that has'yet been held here. The score stood Princeton; 4 and Hedley 3, of which Hedley had the best of it in earned runs, the Princeton tallies being mostly the result of palpable errors on the part of Hedley players. Princeton's battery was Tommy Daly, pitcher, with the Oroville catcher doing the receiving. For Hedley the pitching was done by Cotter, a dark horse who came in a few days before from across the line and has since gone to work at the Nickel Plate. He pitched a splendid game and but for the iudif- ferent support he received at critical periods would have won out easily. The closeness of the game made it particularly interesting and exciting for the spectators. The. game was decided on eight innings. TRAP SHOOTING In the trap shoot as in the baseball it was Princeton all the way only very much more so. For the Shatford Cup Hedley was the only team that tried to wrest the trophy from Princeton shooters who were and are still the holders of the trophy. The gunmen from the upper town were dead on and two of the men, Messrs Waterman and Irwin, in particular seemed to have very little difficulty in breaking the little blue rocks as often as they wanted to. The score stood Hedley 50 and Princeton 70. In the open shoot Irwin took 1st with a score of 24 out of 25 with Waterman second with a score of 20.

OLD ISSUES REVIVED The manner in which Sir Wilfrid Lauricr was disposed to flirt with the free trade question during his trip to tlie west appears to have been taken more seriously in various quarters than seemed necessary and even eastern Canadian papers give; evidence of the possibility of the trade question which has been shelved as a political issue ever since the ill-fated "unrestricted reciprocity"', campaign of'IS91-:-i, becoming again -a live issue in "Canadian politics. The Toronto World is publishing a series of articles on the National Policy and its working that are meant to he educa- eativo ; and while it is not at all likely that Sir Wilfrid really meant anything by his vague generalities and half non-committal assurances to the fanners of the prairie provinces it is w ���������.*'.! that the rising generation of Canadians who are to be our voters in the course of another decade or less should bo taught the real significance of the National Policy and what it has done for Canada. The circumstances which brought it about : the bitter opposition to it on the part of the Liberals who fought it for years after it- had become Canada's fixed fiscal policy ; their own adoption of it after their accession to power in I SIMS while still pretending that they were opposed to it, are all phases of the question that the* rising generation are not as familiar with as they should be. Therefore a revival of the question at the present juncture would be timely, and what could be more eminently fitting than that Billy Maclean should be in the vanguard, for it- was his father who more than anyone else prvailed upon Sir John A. Mac-dona Id to cross the fiscal Rubicon and come out squarely for a, protective tariff which he did in that famous history-making resolution introduced in the House of Commons on the 10th of March 1870 ? ing on the mission fields of the chinch in the west and elsewhere. Another significant feature was that when- the ojipo.sil.ion waxed fiercest- then- was little difficulty in locating the axe which required grinding. in championing the cause of union the. mantle of the late Dr. Sutherland seemed to fall very beiittingly upon the venerable shoulders of ]Jv. Bur- wash. Dr. Briggs, the book steward, was to be found among the antis. The votestood over 9 to 1 in a conference of about 300 delegates. An amusing situation connected theiewith was that when the result "was announced all who voted for union rose and sang "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," the antis remaining'seated and silent. Evidently they thought there wore.occasions when praise could be too indiscriminate and should be withheld and this was one of them. YMV; LI cl li -I**' i|? Ill I ..Qt Try ^XVXNV.SV'-a'VVfc.

He was very favorably impressed with the showings in sever- . al camps but was not excited over any of tlie recent finds which had been advertised so widely. The Skagit's claim as a fisherman's paradise also seemed open to question, although a reason given for it was that a thick jam or two farther down the stream was keeping the fish back. Hughie Campbell and Sam Spencer , were down from Priuceton this week and made the Gazette a pleasant call. Hughie is looking as young and hearty _ as he was fifteen years ago and is apparently good formany years to come, ��������� although he shares with Robert Stevenson the honor of being the oldest of old timers. It is pleasing also to note that they have the brightest prospects in the mining property which they own on Whipsaw creek. Some of the specimens brought down are certainly fine and if they have much of that (as we are assured they have) it will require. Jack Crosby did some excellent work for the golf club last week in putting the greens and teeing grounds in order. Some team work also contributed to the beneficial result in removing weeds on the fairway and filling up numerous indentations that interfered with the lay. These improvements of course cost money and members of the club who are in arrears on their dues would help out the executive committee by paying in to the secretary the amount of their arrears together with the dues for September and October which are two splendid golfing months and the improvements effected will enable members to get the greatest amount of satisfaction and enjoyment out of their play. Among the Oroville visitors on Labor day were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dallam and Mr. and Mrs. Gilmour. Mr. Dallam who is editor of the Oroville Gazette and one of the ablest journalists in this part of the district was paying his first visit to Hedley, and long as both of us have been in the district and have known each other in a neighborly sort of way as brother publishers this is the first time we had met, Bro. Brown, of Keremeos, a comparatively recent ar rival, making lis acquainted. A holiday with its distractions is not the most favorable time to see a town for the first time and we regret that there was not the opportunity to show him around and enable'hini to see things when thelHedley Gold Mining Company's plant is-in full operation, for to >ohe wha'has stayed with the district as long as Bro. Dallam and has believ- ed in it and upheld its interests in good and ill report it would be a pleasure indeed to show him a noted example wherein the countiy has been able to make good and justify all he has written of it, for the mining industry of the district has had no better friend than he. , ;It is hoped that some time in the near future he will "be able to spend a few days in the camp. - A couple of months ago Hedley was visited by Mr. Scott, representing the Mining and'Scientific Press of San Francisco, and the'last issue of that magazine which is to hand contained an excellent write-up of uhe mine and reduction works, which it is presumed was written by him as it is announced as staff correspondence. It is safe to say that no write up which has yet appeared is so concise and accurate. The .Gazette reproduces a portion this week and will complete the write- up in next issue.

THE HEDLEY GAZETTE. SEP 8, 1910. X KEREMEOS, the Centre of Lower Similkameen���������Famed for Fruit Growing Town and Lower Valley. Parties of hunters who were out for the opening of the season in the vicinity of Keremeos met with fair success. Mrs. G. G. Keeler and son Carl left on Monday's evening's train on a visit to friends in the Yakima Valley, Wash. Mrs. F. Sauve left on Friday last for Hedley to secure treatment for her little baby which w-is very ill with some infantile complaint. W. D. Lawson of the -'E. T." bank left for Princeton on Saturday to join R. H. Carniichael in a hunting trip for a few days in the country above Granite Creek. . ( XV: H. Armstrong and party will arrive in Keremeos on Saturday. They will come by the Okanagan valley and will be met at Penticton by special rigs from Innis'stables. Mrs. Muirhead, of Victoria, who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. Lowe, at the Ranche, returned home on Thursday last. She was accompanied as far as Okanagan Landing by Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Ewart. A party, consisting of T. S. Drennen Porter. .Gibson and Jas. Stockton left Keremeos on Friday en route for the ���������Prairie. Mr. Drennen goes clown to look after his interest in the grain crop and will retiii-n in abouta month's time. Mr. Stockton will be gone somewhat longer, while Mr. Gibson will take his residence at Regina. F. A. Lance, of 312 Hastings street, Vancouver has added another 20 acres to his holdings here having purchased lot 58 which adjoins his other lot. This gives him 20 acres part of which is planted in trees that have already come into bearing. It speaks well for the prospects of the valley that people of Mr. Lance's kind who have invested here; are coming back looking for more. Rev. Mr. Cameron left on Monday for Summerland to attend a meeting of the Presbytery for this district. In order to make connections Mr. Cameron had to drive from Hedley to Keremeos on Sunday might after holding service. On such a dark night as Sunday evening proved it was anything but a pleasure drive and would have daunted a less dete-unined man than Mr. Cameron. Charles Reid, manager of the I'-J. C. Milling & Trading Company of Vancouver, spent Saturday and Sunday in Keremeos. He came in via the Okanagan where he spent considerable time, looking over the country. Although Mr. Reid invested in a fruit lot here several years ago this was his first visit to the valley. He was greatly pleased with the manner in which his lot has been developed for him, enjoyed some delicious fruit- from his own trees and took samples home, with him. -He has decided to erect a handsome dwelling here next summer, where he and his family will spend their winters, escaping the wet season at the coast. Mr. Reid states that he can name a dozen people on his street who will do as he has done once the V. V. & E. is finished and connection established between this walley and Vancouver. Having decided to return east the undersigned will offer for sale the following list of stock'and effects. 1 . *-* brown mare with foal at side (Clyde) 1 good cow due to calve in October, 1 heifer calf, 3 months old; 45 Pure bred barred rock hens, 50 pure bred barred rock chickens, 1 heavy wagon gear suitable for I horse, 1 set team harness, 1 Peerless Incubator and brooder, nearly new; 1 Wheelbarrow new: 1 scythe, cross-cut saw, shovels, hoes and a number of tools, 1 ton of good oats, 2 water barrels, wash tubs, Dairy utensils including milk pails, cans, churn, S gal bowl and print, I grand .Jewel coal or wood stove together with pipes, kettles and pans, 1 new wash boiler. 1 glass front cupboard, 1 extension table 8 feet, new; 1 standard sewing machine, nearly new, 8 kitchen chairs, 2 rockers, 1 iron bed spring and mattress, 4-V ft.; 2 iron bed spring, Sir ft;-1-yds inlaid linoleum, 2 yds wide, A quantity of dishes, jars and crocks.

'THE 1SALL The ball on. Monday evening was quite a brilliant affair and ' the music which was supplied by the Oroville orchestra,' excellent. The hall was brilliantly lighted and tastefully decorated and the company while not as- great a crush as on some .former occasions was for that reason enabled to enjoy themselves better. Supper was supplied by the Grand Union and the Similkameen, the guests being divided between them. Another dance was held on Tuesday evening, a portion of the Oroville orchestra remaining over to furnish the music for it, and'a pleasant time was spent. J. A.

Constable Black, of Nelson, has made a brief but complete summary of latest restrictions in the game laws, a thing that was badly needed, and as there is practically no difference between the Nelson district and this por- tson of Yale-Cariboo, .'we'reproduce it herewith; attention is therefore drawn to the following regulations for game protection which become pertinent at this season: , "Blue and willow grouse and ptarmigan may be shot in this portion of the province between Sept.1 and Dec. 1, inclusive. "Prairie chicken may be shot during October. "Duck, geese and snipe may be shot on the entire mainland between Sept. 1 and February 2S, inclusive.
